{panel} The purpose of the FAI wiki documentation space is to guide users in effectively setting up and using their wiki&nbsp;while maintaining a global FAI&nbsp;'look and feel'. {panel}

The FAI wiki is built on [Atlassian *Confluence*|http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/]. Confluence is an enterprise wiki which enables groups to quickly collaborate on projects online.

h4. &nbsp;wikiWiki concept

The essential features of a wiki are that pages are designed to be easily editable, and a historical record is kept of all changes. The assumption is that the more people who have edit permissions the better because there is then a greater chance of information being loaded into the wiki and being accurately maintained once it is there.

...

Stacked on top of the basic features&nbsp;are lots of additional features, for example logged-in users can create personal RSS feeds or email notifications for when content is added or changed.&nbsp; A powerful feature is the use of macros in wiki pages which give the editor power to automate some things, for example to create a table of contents for the page.

h4. Spaces

Confluence is organized in *[spaces]*. Spaces are indicated in the menu on the left by a globe icon. Spaces are organized by FAI commission. A main commission space may have an unlimited number of sub-spaces.&nbsp;

Each logged-in user may also set up their own [personal space|Personal spaces].

h4. Users & groups

Confluence is organized to have *[users|Users]* and *[groups|User groups]*. Users log in, and the wiki knows which groups they are a member of.

Users who are members of a group with permissions to edit pages in a space can do this very easily using an *online WYSIWYG editor*, or a [*wiki notation*|wiki notation] *editor*, or an *'edit this page in Word'* feature.&nbsp;

h4. Kinds of pages

There are several kinds of page in a space; the basic page, a news (or blog) item, a comment, an attachment to a page.

h4. Macros

Besides regular text, page editors can embed [macros|Macros] in their pages which provide a large range of formatting and automation possibilities.

h4. Moving pages

If you are moving a page within a space this is really easy, simply drag and drop it in the left side menu.

If you are moving a page from one space to another, edit the page, and at the bottom click on *edit* next to *Location* and select a new parent page.
